TP-Link EAP787 BE15000 Wi-Fi 7 Access Point
The EAP787 is designed for organizations that require very high wireless capacity, multi-gigabit wired connectivity and centralized network management. Its tri-band architecture provides dedicated 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz wireless connectivity, while the 8-stream Wi-Fi 7 design enables higher aggregate capacity for modern client devices.
With support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 technologies, the EAP787 is suitable for high-density deployments where many users and devices simultaneously access bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud services, video conferencing, large file transfers, high-resolution streaming and enterprise applications.
BE15000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Performance
The TP-Link EAP787 provides three wireless bands with the following theoretical signal rates:
| Wireless Band |
Maximum Signal Rate |
| 2.4 GHz |
688 Mbps |
| 5 GHz |
8648 Mbps |
| 6 GHz |
5765 Mbps |
| Total |
15,101 Mbps / approximately 15.1 Gbps |
These are theoretical physical-layer signal rates. Actual throughput depends on client capability, channel conditions, interference, network configuration, environmental factors and other deployment conditions.
Wi-Fi 7 with 320 MHz Channel Bandwidth
The EAP787 supports Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) and advanced technologies designed to increase wireless capacity and efficiency. The 6 GHz band supports up to 320 MHz channel bandwidth, allowing compatible Wi-Fi 7 clients to use much wider channels for higher theoretical throughput.

10G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet with PoE++
To prevent the wired network from becoming a bottleneck for high-speed Wi-Fi, the EAP787 features a 10/5/2.5/1GbE Ethernet port. This multi-gigabit interface supports connection speeds up to 10 Gbps and provides the wired bandwidth required for high-performance Wi-Fi deployments.
The Ethernet interface also supports 802.3bt PoE++, allowing data and power to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation in ceiling-mounted environments where running a separate electrical connection may be inconvenient.

Dedicated RF Scanning
One of the major features of the EAP787 is its dedicated RF scanning radio. Instead of relying exclusively on the radios responsible for serving wireless clients, dedicated RF scanning allows the access point to perform spectrum analysis and monitor the wireless environment.
TP-Link specifies real-time tri-band spectral analysis, over-the-air packet capture, continuous scanning without disrupting normal data transmission and interference-source identification. Dedicated RF scanning requires an Omada Controller V6.0 or above.

- Tri-band RF analysis
- Interference detection
- Interference source identification
- Over-the-air packet capture
- Continuous RF scanning
- Wireless environment analysis
AFC Support for the 6 GHz Band
The EAP787 is designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz spectrum and supports Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) where applicable. AFC can help optimize 6 GHz operation and improve usable coverage and performance in supported regions.
Availability and operation of AFC depend on local regulatory requirements and supported country/region configurations.
High-Density Wireless Connectivity
The EAP787 is designed for environments where a large number of wireless clients may be connected simultaneously. TP-Link specifies support for 510+ concurrent clients under its stated conditions.
The access point supports up to 24 SSIDs, with up to 8 SSIDs available per wireless band. This allows network administrators to create separate wireless networks for employees, guests, IoT devices, visitors and other user groups.
Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming
The EAP787 integrates with the TP-Link Omada ecosystem and supports advanced wireless deployment features such as Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming.
Seamless Roaming can help compatible clients transition between Omada access points as users move through a building. Omada Mesh can provide flexible wireless deployment where a wired Ethernet connection is not available at every access-point location.
These features are particularly useful in offices, hotels, educational campuses, retail environments and other multi-access-point deployments.
Centralized Omada Management
The EAP787 can be centrally managed through the TP-Link Omada Software Defined Networking platform. Omada brings access points, switches and gateways together under centralized management, making it possible to configure and monitor a complete business network from a unified management interface.
Depending on the deployment, administrators can use Omada Cloud-Based Controller, Omada Hardware Controller or Omada Software Controller.
